Need to Find a Tutorial on Creating a Soccer Ball... 2004-02-14 - By Andrew Turner
Back
I looked it up and found it's called a "truncated icosahedron" and found a
LOT of hits with google!
Don't know where to start, exacly, but two things come to mind:
1) start with the icosahedron, convert to vertex, and (somehow) cut off all
the tips at the right places
or
2) perhaps if you find the formula and can enter it somewhere in Carrara
(I'm not sure where) you can then create a vertex model.
Also, it's apparently called a buckminsterfullerene.. and I bet you can find
one ready to extrude, smooth, and bulge!

Subject: [Carrara] Need to Find a Tutorial on Creating a Soccer Ball...
I am looking for a tutorial on how to create a soccer ball with
stitches, not just with the use of a bump map, etc. However, if there
is only a tutorial using this method, that is okay. I am trying to
learn how to create the pentagon/hexagon shapes accurately in 3D but
will also
use the 2D method if that is what is available.
Also, I use AMAPI primarily for modeling so if it is an AMAPI
tutorial, that is perfectly fine.
Thanks in advance.
